I have been using Kiln for free for quite a few years for my personal git repos. I still haven't grown past just me. I received an e-mail last week saying they will start charging $20 dollars a month, no exceptions, to keep Kiln. I just ran into a Kiln bug due to a change in Openshift. Kiln does not support clones with --depth=1 --recursive and a username and password in the url with escaped characters like %40 in place of the @ symbol. It seems I have been given a motivating reason to leave Kiln at just the right time. Gitlab hosts free unlimited private repos for people like me and they support the url structure I need. It seems hard to justify them charging $20 dollars minimum for how I use it. They no longer have a business model that will bring on new users; I think they are only interested in maintaining the large clients temporarily stuck on Kiln.
